We have updated our Google Analytics 4 integration in line with the new incompatibility changes introduced by Google, which will take place starting from Dec 1, 2022. 

Item-scoped dimensions such as <code>item category</code>, <code>item name,</code> and <code>item ID</code> will no longer be reported with event scope metrics such as <code>event count</code>, <code>eCommerce purchases,</code> and <code>conversions</code>. Instead, you can use <code>Item revenue</code>, <code>item purchase quantity</code>, <code>active users,</code> and <code>sessions</code>.
